No football supporter should ever buy the Sun.
having just read todays SUN newspaper enough is enough I have stuck with the sun for years not because of the bias news articles but because they have had a decent sports news, but today I'm livid Headlines such as CARNAGE !!! is unacceptable I was at the match and I never saw bodies lying all about, they were just trying to stir the crap, also the match report states marc albrighton caused the baggies first chance, my god who writes this without knowing albrighton left us last season. my question is can ANYONE recommend an accurate , truthful, and un-bias newspaper for me to subscribe to

The BBC are just as guilty, Phil McNulty thinks we are now in the dark ages.Difficult to argue with this though: "It was to be hoped the sight of seats being thrown on to the pitch, invasions of the playing surface, players running for the cover of the tunnel and police drawing batons on fans had been consigned to the past - sadly this was not the case here and did a disservice to a big FA Cup occasion and another big win for Villa and Sherwood."

The actual quote is "Sadly, this will be a game not simply remembered for a result but also for a brief return to English football's dark ages."The BBC are just as guilty, Phil McNulty thinks we are now in the dark ages.Difficult to argue with this though: "It was to be hoped the sight of seats being thrown on to the pitch, invasions of the playing surface, players running for the cover of the tunnel and police drawing batons on fans had been consigned to the past - sadly this was not the case here and did a disservice to a big FA Cup occasion and another big win for Villa and Sherwood."
Hardly the dark ages though is it?
Thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, however brief, it's hardly the dark ages.Ah well, it's all about opinions isn't it.

Nobody buys a newspaper in search of the truth do they? They buy the one that reflects the views they already hold.
if that would have happened at Bradford yesterday it would have been labelled as the romance of the cup.
I don't have any tired stereotypes for the i, although it seems like good value for money.
The Guardian is for yogurt-knitting trots who have substantial property portfolios.
The Telegraph is for toffs that love to hunt and think the working classes need the guiding hand of paternalism.

What has that got to do with their sports coverage? There's no fox hunting section in the Telegraph sports pages either oddly.
Each saturday the guardian (v good on a saturday, not just sport) will throw up an article on football which is from a completely different perspective. A simple example being a Barney Ronay piece on how buying a player should be seen as failure, whereas Sky were celebrating how "the biggest transfer window yet".The Guardian (for all it's faults) is light years ahead of any other paper that I've read in the quality of its football coverage.
Only the Times or The Independant could be relied to print anything resembling the facts. All other tabloids have their own agenda. More often than not that agenda is to create or sensationalise a story.
The fact that The Sun seems to be able to dictate the political landscape of this country is frightening.

thanks to everyone so I will try the Guardian, The "I" or Telegraph if that don't work I will give up and buy the dandy or the beano at least I can believe in those

I wouldn't even use it to wipe my arse! Still remember trip back from Anderlect and seeing what they wrote when we arrived back in Dover.
...Is it just me, or was the joylessly po faced reaction to the exuberant pitch invasion at Villa Park final proof that the notion of the football fan is completely dead and buried. "Unacceptable", "We dont want to see that sort of thing" and "mindless idiots" are just a few of the reactions I've heard. "Unacceptable" to whom? Not to me, I thought it was bloody brilliant and reminded me of the day Chelsea won the old second division back in the 80s. Except that back then, the chairman and the entire team applauded the fans from the East Stand. Proper chairmen gack in those days. Mind you, if you tried to get on the pitch during a game you stood a fair chance of being electrocuted but that's another story. Who doesn't "want to see that sort of thing"? Well, corporate money men and health and safety fetishists terrified that the value of their carefully nurtured "product" might fall or, in the case of the latter, just generally terrified. And finally, Tony Pulis, how does losing yourself in the joy of the moment and celebrating your team's victory equate to 'mindless idiocy'?
Stay off the grass consumers. Get back in your boxes. Sit quietly. Buy the pretty baubles we put in front of you and then file out quietly, not forgetting to doff your caps on the way out. "Fitter, happier, more productive".
Enjoy the 'product' oh you lucky people.
Just remember your place.
Think I will stick up for the BEEB a bit on this one. Because as far as I can tell they have just reported what the scenes were at the match without showing any bias either way.

They didn't though. Saying it was like a return to the bad old days, or a lot of villages had lost their idiots, is not reporting on the facts at all, it is interpreting them and offering an opinion.

Lawrenson's village has lost theirs for a while.
The super soaraway Sun's headline was shocking. Reading all the reviews of the game I think I was at another game as all I saw was (after 5 years of misery) fans celebrating.
A return to the dark ages it was not.

They don't. Sky audience figures are still a fraction of terrestrial ones.

Maybe Dave, but would be better if no one subscribed to it , especially villa fans .
Let the chavski and manure waste their money on its rubbish.
Pitch invasions are bad. The Fiver knows pitch invasions are bad because it spent all day yesterday and much of today listening to various people pontificating in newspapers, on TV and on the radio getting their smalls in a righteously indignant twist over two separate pitch invasions at Villa Park on Saturday evening, when some happy booze-fuelled numpties stormed the pitch to celebrate a goal and then victory for their team against local rivals West Brom. Happy football fans? We can’t be having that.
Rather than being a return to the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s, as some more hysterical commentators have suggested, your glass half-full Fiver prefers to think of it as more of a reminder of the 1960s, a decade in which a similar pitch invasion perpetrated by similarly happy football fans at Wembley outraged public sensibilities to such an extent that it is to this day celebrated through its immortalisation in one of the most celebrated snippets of sports commentary ever heard. Happy football fans? Let’s put it on a 49-year loop.
OK, so pitch invasions aren’t ideal or indeed particularly rare (has a play-off semi-final second leg ever actually ended without one?), but compared to fans being hit by seats torn from the Villa Park away end or corner-takers being pelted by missiles flung by spectators, they’re little more than a minor inconvenience that can be fairly easily avoided.
The Guardian again, the gist and tone of which could virtually have been lifted from these very pages.:QuotePitch invasions are bad.

I agree with the Chelsea fan. Going onto the pitch during the game is kind of berky, because we're trying to watch, damn it, but after the game? I'm sure the groundsman can cope, and it was all in a good spirit.

Wasnt our captain bitten?

Mr Oizo was at number one with his annoying, bass-heavy 'Flat Beat', the minimum wage was introduced at £3.60 an hour for workers over 21, and these sides served up one of the great FA Cup games - perhaps one of the best games I've ever seen - in the semi-final replay at Villa Park.
Younger readers may not have ever seen the classic - so fill your boots here! It was a brilliant, brilliant match.
